He is real thirsty and want some water. My mum's furry roommate Oscar prefers to drink his water from a cup. He would meow and meow for his cup when he is thirsty.

Please send videos! My daughter used to hate baths until she saw videos of cats getting baths. She still refuses to drink from a cup. My daughter is the most stubborn person on earth.

LOL... I wanna see both: Video of the cat drinking and video of fixmypcmike trying to get his daughter to drink!! :lol:

Girls with autism are known for being stubborn, but my little girl is the queen of stubbornness. When she was five the experts told us to just throw away the baby bottles. "She'll give up in a few days, a week max." The pediatrician told us all about signs of dehydration.

She'll be 11 in November. But there's been progress -- she's actually used a water fountain on occasion. But no cups, no straws, no sports bottles.

I have one of those High mixer taps in the kitchen, so cat height when they are in the sink. The one of them will try sucking the tap, and if nothing comes out she will then meeoouuw for a human to come turn the tap on a trickle, so she can drink.

Never had a cat that would drink from a cup, but did used to have a dog that did,

I have 3 cats.
Felix, (B&W moggie) Crystal (little slinky black cat) & Mem (my beautiful tortoiseshell)
my brother's cat, Willow (he said was ALWAYS going to call his first cat of his own Buffy!!!) likes to drink from a running tap too!
very possesive little witch too! will growl if anyone pats her and bites inc his girlfriend but adores him, their other very friendly cat chases the Matltese/poodle/cavalier bitsu and Staffy!! the silly woofy things actually run, but Bonnie the Staffordshire terrier and TimTam the cat are actually best mates and sociable to visitors in general, Mia the little white wooly thing is very loyal to his girlfriend.
only Felix out of my cats will approach visitors, never strangers, I have to talk to them first, then he will come and let them pat him and leg rub them, he prefers men, if I talk to a man, he comes running, bit wary of other women esp young noisy ones, the other two just hide from anyone.

Mem is a bugger esp if I leave a glass of iced coffee milk unattended.
will stick her head right in.
I have a jar for a floating candle that tapers then flares, she drinks every drop out of that when the candle has burnt out, looks riddiculouse with her head stuffed right diwn the glass jar!

Lol now thats a sight haha! I think I came accorss a jar head cat on FB once. Mine loves anyone when he wants to... hes very tempremental. One minute hes phyco kitty, the next hes very affectionate and of course demanding of food ALL THE TIME!

LOL cho! Looks like your pups spoilt haha! My cat will drink from a cup... But he has it's own cup of water... He's never tried to drink any of my drinks luckly

Oh yes Fred was very spoilt I am afraid, he was such a character, we still miss him. I didn't mention that the cup only ever had a little in the bottum, as it was coffee (milk and 2 spoons of honey) that he would drink. Anything taht was put down on the floor was Fred's. My brother came to visit once (well he came several times, but just the first time) and put his cup down on the floor, and found that he had lost it. as Fred had claimed it. He discovered why we had a coffee table.

I'm down to just four cats now, all females. My others just did a fade away thing. My cat Miss Meow, she will demand that you speak with her, is the only one with a weird habit. She watches TV ALL DAY. One is a plain old Tabby cat somebody dropped off at my house knowing I would take care of her, she is the only None people cat I have. The other three will love anyone to death.

I think the important thing is to like yourself and expect to have misunderstandings every now and then just like with anybody else. LoL Of course, getting away from yourself when you need a break is a little hard. ;-P

Having too close a relationship with one's self can look a little scary sometimes, too, I guess. I get all kinds of odd stares when I'm arguing with myself in public. :-/

Still, of all the relationships we spend time working on, the one we seem to spend the least effort on is the one we have with ourselves.

...alas I am feline less (unless MilCat qualifies). Here where I live pet deposits have become very steep, in some cases almost as high as a single month's rent. So I guess I have to be satisfied with the Virtual version.

I miss my Fatboy. He was such a wonderful lovey kitty who enjoyed being patted on the backside like a dog. He loved to sneak a few laps of red wine or dark beer when I wasn't watching, and totally loved melon, a real connoisseur. He also liked watching football on the telly with me. When there was a lull in the action, he'd go up to the screen and bat the players on the bum as if to say, "hey I'm bored, get moving."

Good Lord, that looks like my stalker...except he's not as hairy because he's a human and only 10 and a half months old. ;-)
